Worldspan Agreement to Include Delta

Worldspan today announced an agreement to expand Worldspan`s access to
Delta Air Lines` fares, including all publicly available fares and Web
fares primarily available at delta.com , Delta`s Online Agency Service
Center and third-party Web sites. The three-year agreement provides
comprehensive fare content, including Web fares, to Worldspan`s
traditional travel agencies in North America as well as the Caribbean and
represents another key advancement in Worldspan`s ongoing initiative to
broaden the range of fare information available to its traditional agency
partners.

“Worldspan remains focused on delivering the most comprehensive fare
content possible to our travel agencies while providing the best value to
airline customers. This agreement helps us do both, while expanding our
long- standing partnership with Delta,” commented Mike Parks, senior vice
president and general manager - Worldwide travel distribution for

with the addition of these Web fares in Worldspan`s system, our
traditional agents can provide even better itinerary choices, giving them
the competitive advantage they need to win in today`s marketplace.”

“Through this new agreement with Worldspan, we`re able to offer our
customers the added convenience and flexibility that comes with broader
